More details to this question:
Single car accident, drive was drinking and ran into a pillar. Broke two vertebrae and my sternum. Walked home in adrenaline rush before police arrived and driver didn't mention me in police report. Will this be a problem in obtaining a settlement?

While one always likes records to be complete, this omission should not be fatal to your claim. Nonetheless if you contact the officer, the Police Report should be revised to include your injuries, including driver's statement being revised to include your involvement.
